The wife and I bought a new house a month ago and we finally moved in. She has her priorities and I have mine. I started working on the new shop space and over the weekend and felt like sharing it here. It won't compare to a lot of shops I've seen on here recently but it's mine and I'm starting to love the way it's coming together.
Here's a shot for comparison in the yard. It's 16x20 and has its own dedicated 200a service and meter.
It had some semi dengy flooring so I came across a buddy who was pulling up some laminate and though hell yeah this could be awesome. So I went to town.
Things were looking up. Until the boards wouldn't rejoin. I spent about 5 hours getting 3 rows in before I started breaking the boards out of anger. It was most likely due to swelling. So I scraped the idea of that and started shopping around.
After talking with a few buddies I decided on a flooring. Then it was picking out the color or pattern.
Armstrong VCT
I decided on the grays.
Once back at the shop I spent yesterday scraping the floors. The old linoleum and glues were a huge pita. I finished up the scraping today and started applying the glue for the VCT.
Mike was an awesome help tonight. We got 120/320 sq ft completed and it looks awesome.
So the building is pretty rad. It has baseboard heat and great lighting. 4 large windows, fully insulated with a large access attic port for storage, French doors and an additional fire door on the opposite end.
It also has AC. Which turned out to not work. I found a floor model at Home Depot and saved myself $50. The hole needed cut bigger as I went with a larger unit. This dude keeps the shop at 68 degrees without even trying. Even in mid 80 degree weather.
I've also got cable TV installed and a nice leather pull out sofa for the drunkies.
I'll post more as progress pics up. In 3 days I feel pretty accomplished about the direction and can't wait to get in a wrench.
